Some navigators offer realistic birds-eye views of junctions and 3D views of the surroundings to help point you in the right direction, as well as lane guidance with voice prompts to make sure you’re in the right place to make a turn. Traffic alerts are provided with some navigators so you can avoid congestion, and this feature is frequently free for life. Some of our navigators are Bluetooth compatible, so you can make and receive calls hands-free, and select units feature voice-activated navigation, so you drive safely with both hands on the steering wheel.

If you use your GPS in several vehicles, check out our selection of car navigation accessories. There you’ll find carry cases for transport as well as USB cables, home chargers, and many more useful accessories. If you’re not happy with the mount that came with your GPS, position your navigator exactly where you want it with an alternative from our wide range of GPS car mounts. And if you venture off the tarmac, you’ll always know where you’re headed with one of our portable GPS units. We have units that enable you to navigate by map or compass, create waypoints and routes and record track logs, and download geocaches.

At one time if your car was stolen, the prospects of ever seeing it again were slim. But that’s no longer the case thanks to GPS tracking systems. With a transmitter hidden on your car, you’ll be able to locate your vehicle on a map displayed on a video screen. Some systems even have a starter disable feature. These systems are also great if you have young drivers or employees that drive. You can see route history and also set up notifications if the vehicle exceeds preselected speed limits or drives out of preselected zones. Some also have a door unlock feature in case the car is locked with the key left inside.

Cell phone companies along with fans of the latest high-tech devices have routinely declared for years that dash-mounted GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation systems and screens are obsolete and will soon be gone completely. They claim that there is no reason to buy one because smartphones using Apple maps or Google maps outperform them in every way.

I ordered this unit just as it became available after conducting assessments of several units. Works just as expected. It takes a little getting used to the menu system, but after playing with it on two different occasions for about an hour total, I've figured out the more advanced items. Worked great right out of the box, quickly acquiring a full complement of satellites while I sat inside the house (accuracy within 10-14 feet inside). The screen has good color and is clear to read. I like the paperless feature and easily loaded a gpx file from geocaching.com. I find the ability to read all of the logs very helpful. Update: used it to search and find several nearby caches, and it worked great! It was very accurate and brought me to within a few feet of each cache. The receiver allows me to mark a cache found and to include comments. When I returned home, I easily uploaded my finds and comments to geocaching.com. I am very pleased with my purchase.

It's expensive but it's the best GPS unit I've owned so far! The unit is easy to use, quick and beautiful. There are a lot of software/display tweaks in the 2013 line that alone (for me) make the upgrade totally worth it. I had a 3590 and I have no regrets so far upgrading to the 3597.

Being already a happy user of the previous generation TomTom GPS navigator, I decided to order this Start 45. I like the mapping and the general accuracy. However, in two occasions it didn't read the number of the street house, thus forcing me to waste time asking. Also, I noticed that finding the POI is a little cumbersome.

Good Straightforward GPS Navigator at a Good Price Point

Voice aside, the navigation is good. The Start 45 does a fine job of getting you from place you are to place you want to get using the conditions you stipulate: fastest route, shortest route, no highways, even the most economical route. The 4.3-inch screen is acceptable, allows for clear viewing of the map and the voice complements the visuals. I have not yet used it in the car to go to the downtown; I wonder to see if it will suggest me a better route than the navigator I have been using for the last years.

A must-have device for everyone who gets lost easily, as I am. So, I got a TomTom and now I can find my way in town or out. Great shipping and I would buy another one but don't need it. Get one for a loved who you want to care about.

This has worked out so well. No more need to ask my son to lend me his navigator. I have learned all features of the navigator, all them are so helpful. I mark all my POI as Favorites (the restaurant, the store, all the different apartments that we were looking for) when travel between cities.

I decided I needed a GPS when I got a job assignment that required traveling to various different stores in the southern California area. All I had to do was enter the address of the hotel or store I needed to go to and the GPS told me exactly how to get there. Any GPS could have done this I suppose, but the RM1700 was the only one with a whopping big 7" display. The last thing you need to be doing while driving down the freeway at 65mph is stare at a tiny display. With just a quick glance at this device, I can get everything I need to know.

I purchased this to replace my RoadMate 1425 that died and I love the 1700 LM! The big screen is great and easy to use as well as easy to see! The volume is nice and loud and seems to be accurate with directions.
